Protein, rather than fat, may limit the flight time of such epic migrators as blackpoll warblers. The tiny birds flew for 28 hours in a wind tunnelāa new recordāand only quit when their protein reserves gave out. In PNAS: ow.ly/KEF050NMNZX

Congratulations Greg! Very happy to see our academic (grand)parent [PhD supervisor for Tyler] awarded with this prestigious recognition. We'd suggest his work on "photoperiodism" was the predominant contribution š. Thanks @JBalthazart and colleagues.

CONGRATULATIONS to Greg Ball, the 2023 SBN Lifetime Achievement Lehrman Award winner.
His contributions to behavioral neuroendocrinology though work on the āchallenge hypothesisā, and the role of androgens & estrogens in song learning have helped shape the field.
